What Our Referees Say About OfficialWhistle

I wanted to thank you letting me be a part of your camp. It was nice to be there. I learned a lot from your staff and The evaluators. Thanks for opening your home up to us as well. Looking forward to it next year. Talk to you soon.

I want to thank you for such a great camp experience. The ratio of staff to campers left me with an abundance of learning opportunities. There was never a time that I came off The court hand had less than 2 staff members ready to give me tips and advice on improving my skills. In addition to the great learning experience, you provide a sense of family that is extremely commendable; especially in this dog eat dog profession we are in. I look forward to hopefully seeing you, and applying all that you and your staff has taught me. Thank you again.

I would like to take this time to thank you for allowing me to attend your camp at The Beach on such short notice. I left the camp with a wealth of knowledge that will stay with me throughout my officiating career.
